Are you wondering if it's your idea or is your hair really sensitized? How do you recognize the signs that prove it?
There are several signs that the scalp is stressed and needs care. Some of these are wear and tear at the ends, dullness or even severe hair loss.
In this article we will discuss what to look out for as well as the steps to reverse the situation and have shiny, vibrant and healthy hair again.
5 SIGNS OF SENSITIZED HAIR
#1 DRY & BRITTLE HAIR
The first sign that you will notice and should wake you up is dryness and the feeling that the hair breaks easily. Η dryness in the hair is usually combined with dullness and makes the hair more difficult to detangle and style.
This can happen for several reasons: frequent styling with heat tools, stress from dyes and even heredity.
Dryness is usually the first stage that if you neglect it and don't take care of your hair, it leads to even bigger problems. The good news is that there are ways to deeply moisturise dry hair, from shampoos, masks and conditioning treatments to smoothing and renewal treatments at the salon.
#2 BREAK & FALL
See excessive gap and edge wear? Do you see your hair falling out at the slightest thing? If yes, then this is yet another sign that reveals that your hair is sensitized.
Some wear on the edges or even shedding of some hairs is normal. Only if you feel that the phenomenon becomes more pronounced than normal is a sign of sensitization and yes, you should be concerned.
The good thing is that you can protect the sensitized ends from further stress with the appropriate professional hair care products, especially if you regularly use heat tools.
#3 THEY FREEZE UP AND DON'T GET UNTANGLED EASILY
Sensitized hair is more difficult to manage, it frizzes easily and knots form after shampooing.
This is because sensitized hair is thinner and less elastic. So in any attempt to manage your hair, you will face more difficulty. Healthy hair is elastic has a silky feel and is much easier to manage.
This is where you need to be very careful. Do not forcefully insist on untangling your hair. You should be as gentle as possible in drying, detangling and styling.
#4 DULL HAIR
When the hair lacks the nourishment and hydration that they need, then they start to lose their health and their appearance is dull, they lack shine, they don't have that silky texture that fully hydrated and healthy hair has. This happens more in coloured hair which, over time, gradually loses the properties that make it elastic and shiny.
The dull hair can be corrected by your hairdresser, but you need to take action yourself! You need to upgrade your hair care routine for sensitized hair and incorporate the appropriate professional care products for them.
#5 POROUS HAIR
A good way to determine if your hair is porous is to observe the effectiveness of applying a mask or oil. If you see that it makes little difference to your hair, then chances are that your hair is very porous.
This happens when wear and tear causes large gaps or tears in the hair surface so that the nourishing and moisturizing elements of the mask or oil you applied cannot be retained.
So, notice how they respond to the damaged hair e.g. from a decapage to moisturizing products. If you don't get the results you were expecting, you may need a few extra "tricks" to lock in the nourishment and protect them from potential future damage.
